By placing a bid, you accept the terms of this auction and will be held to the terms as they are presented and updated. Bids cannot be canceled. These terms create a legally binding contract between you and Taylor Auction & Realty, Inc. Documents presented on the website are part of the terms. The Terms are per our seller client.
ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD AS IS WHERE IS WITH NO WARRANTY, EXPRESSED, WRITTEN, OR IMPLIED, and ALL SALES ARE FINAL: Taylor Auction & Realty, Inc. has put forth every effort in preparing the catalog for this auction. All information obtained came from the seller or third-party sources. The following information is provided to you for your convenience only.
This online auction is set for automatic approval. You may register for the auction and download any documents regarding this auction.
BIDDER REGISTRATION:
For us to have enough time to conduct authorizations, you are encouraged to register and bid early. Waiting till the last minute to register and become comfortable with the system could negatively affect your bidding. We encourage you to register at least 24 hours before the auction.
To better serve our customers, all bidders must provide their name, address, phone number, and email address at which they can be contacted. This ensures good communication between Taylor Auction & Realty, Inc. and the bidder throughout transactions. Each bidder's identity will be verified. Bidding rights are provisional; if complete verification is impossible, Taylor Auction & Realty, Inc. will reject the registration, and bidding activity will be terminated. Auction company employees may bid on an auction for absentee bidders or at the direction of interested bidders who refuse to create an online account but desire to bid at the auction. Auction company employees may bid on auction items for personal consumption.
BIDDING PROCEDURES:
Online auctions move quickly! If you are interested in bidding, bid quickly, especially at the close of bidding time. The bidding software will notify bidders by email or text when they have been outbid. Bidders may also discover if they have been outbid by refreshing the individual lot information or the entire screen. Due to varying internet connection speeds, please place a max bid or constantly monitor the auction at the close of bidding. Sometimes, email or text notifications can be delayed. If you win, you will be notified by email.
MAX BIDS:
Internet bidders who want to ensure their bids are acknowledged should use the Internet bidding feature and leave their maximum bid. When you bid your max, the current bid price does not automatically go to your max bid. Someone else has to bid to increase the current price, and the computer will automatically bid up to your max in the increments specified. Max bids are taken in the order of date and time placed.
AUCTION END TIMES:
All auctions are timed events and are subject to auto-extend. Online Auctions have an auto-extend feature of 5 minutes. For any bid placed in the final 5 minutes of an auction, the auction ending time will be automatically extended 5 minutes from when the bid was placed. The auto-extend feature remains active until no further bids are received within the 5-minute. At the close of the auction, all bidders are encouraged to watch the catalog if it goes into extension. All lot(s) will remain open during the extension period.
Staggered Ending: This Auction utilizes a staggered end time of a certain number of lots ending XX minutes. This information will be provided on the auction details page.
Extended Bidding:
Our auctions use the Auto-Extend feature. The basic rule is that there must be a minimum of 5 minutes for a bidder to react to a bid. If a bid is placed in the final 5 minutes for an item, the ending time is automatically extended to allow the 5-minute reaction time. If another bid is received during that 'extended time,’ the ending time is extended again, if necessary, for five additional minutes for each extension. This continues and repeats until no more bids are submitted. This 'Auto-Extend' feature makes bidding fairer for every bidder and allows all bidders to respond to any last-minute snipe bid(s). Items are Auto-extended ONLY if a bid is placed within 5 minutes of the scheduled closing time.
